Please be advised that there are both 9ct gold AND silver elements to this design - please take the time to read the full description as sometimes the photograph tints can vary from screen to screen.  Thank you.

 

This super cool, eclectic mix of both 9ct gold and silver elements makes for a unique necklace that is just the bomb!  The quirky charm cluster drop has an eclectic mix comprising a fabulous silver vintage memento mori skull curio (with Carnelian* set reverse side) and diamond eyes. 

 

The GORGEOUS vintage silver, diamond and Carnelian skull curio is the centre piece of this design.  With a backdrop of various lengths of fancy link antique Victorian 9ct gold 'guard chain'.  The skull with sparkling diamonds for eyes 'pops' perfectly against the gentle rose gold Victorian chains.  

 

The skull memento mori piece itself is very unusual and unique.  It is chunky and quite heavy with wonderfully crafted skull 2D motive to the front with the skulls eye sockets set with 2 diamonds.  The vintage silver has a lovely aged patina to it.  On the reserve side of the pendant/charm is a surprise, as it has been set with a round cabochon stone, with red, cream and dark tones, which I believe to be Carnelian*.  So as the pendant moves it has interest on both sides of it. 

 

Also hanging from the centre ring and keeping the skull company are two 9ct gold pretty link chain drops.  The shorter drop having a desirable and collectable vintage (c1960s) 9ct gold coiled snake charm on the end. 

 

The longer chain drop having the most divine silver T bar that I have ever come across.  Sourced from an antique Albertina watch chain it has wonderful scroll work and patterning to its centre and end balls.  So pretty!  The silver T bar compliments the silver skull piece and balances the design completely. 

 

Last, but not least, to the side (collarbone area) of the neck section of chain, I have incorporated a ring from which hangs another 9ct gold vinage charm, being a 3-piece charm consisting of a cross, an anchor and a heart, respectively engraved 'Faith', 'Hope', 'Charity'.

 

 All the elements used to create this design are highly desirable, rare and collectable.

 

The necklace fastens centrally to the front by way of an Albert swivel fastener.
